The Latest

Friday, August 5, 2016

On the eve of the Rio Olympics, ABC's Greatest Hits (0.9) and Fox's Home Free (0.6) both signed off for the summer with two-hour finales. It was a big bounce for Hits, which had been deteriorating as low as 0.6 since its decent 1.1 premiere, and the show actually pulled back ahead of its BattleBots lead-in (0.8).

NBC was the only network to break 1.0 in every hour, with an Olympics preview special at 8/7c (1.1) and a potent American Ninja Warrior repeat filling the last two hours at 1.0.

CBS' Big Brother may get nicked by dueling with the Olympics over the next 2.5 weeks, but it went into that period on a high-end note (1.9). It was surrounded by repeats of comedies (1.3/1.0) and Code Black (0.6).

The CW's Beauty and the Beast (0.3) has preliminarily given itself a shot of ending its long 0.2 streak. We'll see what the finals bring.
